Hawaiian Stilt, Himantopus knudseni, Ae'O, Kanaha Pond Wildlife Sanctuary, Maui
 

A Hawaiian stilt (Himantopus knudseni), also known as an Ae'o, is reflected in the water of the Kanaha Pond Wildlife Sanctuary in Wailuku on the Hawaiian island of Maui. The Hawaiian stilt is considered endangered, with fewer than 1,500 currently found in the Hawaiian islands. It feeds on the larvae of dragon flies, small fish, worms, crabs, water insects, and the seeds and roots of water plants.
